Before fluorescence detection of Titanium alloy components, acid pickling in HF-HNO3 solutions is always required in order to remove the superficial oxides of the components. According to the relative CPS document, the conditions for Titanium alloy pickling are HF arranged below 90g/L, HNO3 300-450g/L and at ambient temperature. In this paper, the corrosion rate of the acid pickling process of TC4 alloy was investigated using the acid solutions with variable HF、Titanium contents and fixed HNO3 content of 375g/L at different temperatures. In addition, the intergranular corrosion and pitting corrosion of the TC4 alloys after pickling under different conditions were conducted. The effects of HF and HNO3 on the intergranular corrosion and pitting corrosion were discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
